KNEN (94.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a mainstream rock format. Licensed to Norfolk, Nebraska, USA, the station is currently owned by Red Beacon Communications, LLC.[1]

History

KNEN was founded by Gene Koehn in 1979 as a Top 40 radio station. Koehn was a native of Norfolk, Nebraska, and started his radio career with Norfolk's WJAG radio. He left WJAG, and Norfolk, over a wage dispute. Koehn was a top salesman with the station, and was successful enough that he was earning nearly as much money as the station manager. The station manager took umbrage with this, and called Koehn in to advise him that there would be changes in how he was paid. Koehn did not take this news well, and left the station. He vowed he would return and start a new station in town, and did just that.
